Daniel, Jonah and the prophets, sentence 4
For a child today these stories mean: you can be respectful where you live and still stay true to your faith, God gives second chances even to people we dislike, and speaking up for those treated unfairly is a calling.
Who acts: stories, you, God, we · What happens: mean, be, live, stay, give, dislike · To what, where: second chances, people, those · Speech: someone speaks here
